Contact manufacturer adds PCB test services
Remploy Electronics is using Southern Manufacturing/Southern Electronics as the launchpad for its new advanced testing service for PCBs, which is claimed to be among the most sophisticated in the UK.
Both moves underpin the organisation's ambitious growth strategy that targets a doubling of turnover in 2007.
Remploy's Bolton site has already benefited from investment in an SMT production line and lead-free solder facility that enable the division to offer the most advanced PCB manufacturing services currently required by UK-based small to medium size enterprises (SMEs).
Providing small, medium and high volume batch production in a high mix environment, Remploy's focus on rapid response time and quick change over capability is attracting new customers.
The division does not aim to compete with the international contract equipment manufacturers but, rather, has identified a niche between them and the plethora of local suppliers.
John Baker, Business Development Manager, Remploy Electronics, said: "This investment is further evidence of Remploy's commitment to deliver the most efficient contract manufacturing services to SMEs".
"The results will benefit our customers' businesses and, in turn, the prospects of our employees".
